Really lovely boat tour of some of the light installations on display for the festive period. On a gorgeous wooden salon boat, with drinks and snacks included led by a very friendly and informative guide. The only downside was the wait time to actually get aboard, it was around 30 minutes or so later than the pre booked, scheduled time. Apparently this was due to traffic jams on the canals 😂 which to be fair yes there was a lot of boats out but it also seems they had been overbooked, which led to standing in the rain waiting although disposable ponchos where offered free of charge during this time. I would definitely say it's worth it, just be prepared to wait and not actually depart or return at the scheduled times.
